Luke 19:37-47

37 As soon as He was approaching, near the descent of ¹the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of the disciples began to ²praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the miracles which they had seen,

38 shouting: "³BLESSED IS THE ⁴KING WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD; Peace in heaven and ⁵glory in the highest!"

39 ⁶Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Him, "Teacher, rebuke Your disciples."

40 But Jesus answered, "I tell you, if these become silent, ⁷the stones will cry out!"

41 When He approached Jerusalem, He saw the city and ⁸wept over it,

42 saying, "If you had known in this day, even you, the things which make for peace! But now they have been hidden from your eyes.

43 "For the days will come upon you when your enemies will ⁹throw up a barricade against you, and ¹⁰surround you and hem you in on every side,

44 and they will level you to the ground and your children within you, and ¹¹they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because * you did not recognize ¹²the time of your visitation."

Traders Driven from the Temple

45 ¹³Jesus entered the temple and began to drive out those who were selling,

46 saying to them, "It is written, '¹⁴AND MY HOUSE SHALL BE A HOUSE OF PRAYER,' ¹⁵but you have made it a ROBBERS' DEN."

47 And ¹⁶He was teaching daily * in the temple; but the chief priests and the scribes and the leading men among the people ¹⁷were trying to destroy Him,
